My audio works for everything except playing movies from my DVD drives (both of them). I get no audio track at all when a movie is playing in wmplayer, realplayer, etc. iTunes works fine, as do all my games, including in-game videos. I have an Audigy SB2 card installed, and also something the device manager calls the C-Media AC97 Audio device which I assume is the onboard audio. The drivers were uninstalled on it (never noticed this before) so I reinstalled them thinking it would help, but nothing has changed.
I don't even know where to start to fix this but it's really annoying. Any ideas?

CD Audio Volume, raise it in volume control (right click sound icon in sys tray). Also, is there a cable connecting the DVD drive to the sound card? Simple things people overlook. ;)

I've done all the control panel rooted volume/mute checks. Pretty sure it's a driver/software issue since audio cd's play just fine in both drives and with both winmedia and realplayer. Really odd - it's like the DVD audio is muted somewhere, but I don't know where else to look.
Feeling kind of stupid here...:confused:

Hi Fett
Its sound like your missing the audio codec, go download the klite codec pack - (
http://www.codecguide.com/) and when you install it make sure to tick the indeo option (for thief)

Biker - you're brilliant as usual. That's like the fifth time you've rescued me.
I need to buy you a beer (or 12) sometime. Cheers. :thumb:

Worked like a charm. Any idea how I managed to delete something so fundamental from my system?

Its likely that some software deleted/changed the 'open with' command in the registry either when it got installed or it wrote something to the registry, rather than the codec getting deleted from your system.
if I remember correctly i have seen several times on the forum that people have had to re-register the indeo codec - which would support my diagnosis.
